Tunisia tells ports to deny anti-migrant ship entry

TUNIS, Tunisia — A port director in Tunisia says authorities have instructed commercial ports in the North African nation to deny access to a ship rented by European identity groups and sailing the Mediterranean Sea with an anti-migrant message.

Fishermen and human rights activists in the Tunisian city of Zarzis unfurled a banner reading “No Racism” as the C Star, the flagship of operation Defend Europe, sailed in international waters off Tunisia’s coast over the weekend.
